Chapter 11, Secrets revealed
"Let's talk this over
It's not like we're dead.
Was it something I did?
Was it something I said?
Don't leave me hanging
In a city so dead.
Held up, up so high
On such a breakable thread.
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it.
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending,
So much for my happy ending.
You've got your dumb friends,
I know what they say.
They tell you I'm difficult,
But so are they.
But they don't know me,
Do they even know you?
All the things you hide from me,
All the shit that you do.
You were all the things I thought I knew
And I thought we could be.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it.
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending,
So much for my happy ending.
It's nice to know you were there,
Thanks for acting like you cared,
And making me feel like I was the only one.
It's nice to know we had it all,
Thanks for watching as I fall,
And letting me know we were done.
You were everything, everything that I wanted
We were meant to be, supposed to be, but we lost it.
And all the memories, so close to me, just fade away
All this time you were pretending,
So much for my happy ending."
-My Happy Ending by: Avril Lavigne
Isabel spotted Sirius standing in front of the Defense Against the Dark Arts classroom first period the next morning. When she saw that Jesse wasn't around yet again, she made her way over.
"Hey Sirius." she said sweetly.
"What do you want Isabel?"
"I just wanted to see you, that's all." she answered innocently.
"Go away." Sirius said annoyed.
"Ha! You're so funny Sirius." she said rather loudly, laughing like a little school girl. "That's why I love you." she added, quieter this time.
"What-" Sirius started, but was interrupted by a very angry Jesse.
"Hey! Get your filthy arm off him!" she exclaimed.
As Isabel removed her hand from his shoulder, she carefully slid it down his chest before removing it completely.
"What do you think you're playing at?" Jesse demanded.
"I'm afraid I don't understand." Isabel replied with an annoyingly sweet voice.
"Don't play stupid, Isabel." Jesse said, extremely irritated.
"What? I was just having a friendly chat with your boyfriend."
"Exactly. My boyfriend. So I suggest you stay away." Jesse said her eyes filled with rage.
"Whatever." Isabel said, smiling at Sirius sweetly, before turning and walking away. Swinging her hips seducingly. Sirius looked away.
"I'm sorry about that Jess." Sirius said, moving a strand of hair away from her face.
"It's ok. It's not your fault." she answered, sighing as the door to the classroom opened, and they all entered.
Sirius, Jesse, and the rest of the Marauders were all standing around in the Entrance Hall, talking happily, and just enjoying each other's company. The moment was soon ruined by the appearance of Isabel. Jesse just glared, and turned away.
"What do you want now?" Sirius asked, extremely fed up at this point.
"I have some bad news to tell you, Sirius." Isabel said, her eyes wide with fear. He just exchanged glances with the rest of them, and motioned for her to continue.
"It concerns Jesse." she began, and Jesse turned to face her. "She-she's, oh Sirius, she's working for you-know-who!" she exclaimed, tears beginning to spill form her eyes.
"Your lies aren't going to work, Isabel." Sirius said, grabbing Jesse's hand.
"No, please believe me. I'm not lying! I overheard Lucius and Bellatrix talking about it. She is using you, so she can bring you all to you-know-who! In exchange for your lives, she gets to be initiated as a Death Eater." Isabel said, not even knowing if this was the whole truth or not.
She saw the look on Jesse's face change from annoyance to fear. Isabel smiled inwardly.
Sirius took a deep breath, and turned to Jesse.
"I don't want to believe her but forgive me for asking. This isn't true right? It's just a lie she made to get me to break up with you." Sirius said looking into Jesse's eyes. Tears began to stream down her face.
"It's-it's true. I went into it not really knowing you, or anyone else, but I swear I wasn't going to go through with it. I was going to face him, and tell him that I was out for good. Look! It was either agree to his stupid plan, or be killed on the spot." she said, trying desperately to defend herself.
"I can't believe this!" Sirius exclaimed. Anger boiling inside of him. Also hurt. He had truly loved her. Everything he said to her, he meant it. He had meant every last bit of it.
"Sirius, I'm so sorry. I was going to tell you-" she said, trying to wipe her tears away, but to no avail.
"No! Don't say anything. I don't want to hear it. I just want you to get out of my face and leave me alone." He said, trying desperately to stay calm, and not go over ballistic and draw attention.
She turned away hurt, and walked up to Gryffindor tower. She locked herself in her dorm and shut the curtains around her. How could she let this happen? Everything was going perfect. They had it all, and they loved each other. He would see that he still loved her right? She wasn't too sure. She couldn't blame him for reacting the way he did, though.
Sirius punched the wall behind him. He quickly found out that that was a stupid idea. His hand was now bleeding, and throbbing at that, and he turned away from his friends and walked out onto Hogwarts grounds.
"Sirius, are you ok?" he heard James call after him, but he just ignored him. He couldn't find his voice, and there was a knot in his throat.
'How could she do that? How could she?!' He asked himself, as he threw himself down in front of the lake.
He felt as thought his heart had been ripped right out of his chest. It was all over, and all he needed now was to get over it.
That was going to be a lot harder than he thought. You cannot erase love, even if you feel that all you have has been taken from you. And you may think that you are incapable of ever loving again, but time can erase many things, but it's up to you to take the time to heal. All things heal with time.
